In the dark night, Dingping is brightly lit inside and outside. Up and down the West City, it is even more heavily guarded. Xicheng was not the main attack of the Zhao army, so on top of Xicheng, there were only 4,000 defenders. Among them, there are 2,000 state troops and 2,000 state northern troops. The main general is Qin Ling of the Bingzhou Army, and the deputy general is naturally the person of the Northern Army of Bingzhou.

"General, the state army battalion has sent two thousand reinforcements here!" On the west city, when the deputy general Cao Yan found out that there were soldiers in the city, he sent someone to investigate it in detail.

"Two thousand reinforcements? In this way, the camp of the state army in the city is basically empty. This Yang Li sent out all the soldiers and horses, what did he want to do? "Although there are traces of Zhao Jun outside this West City, they are just traces, and there is no sign of coming up, it seems that they are just suspicious soldiers for containment.

"Back to the general's words, among the four gates of the city, reinforcements were sent everywhere. According to the reply from the south gate, the offensive of the Zhao army became stronger tonight, so in order to prevent accidents, the defenders of the large battalion were sent troops to each gate. Since Yang Li asked his corporal to assign the West Gate and the North Gate, why should we stop it. The general hopes that all the state army will be consumed in the defense of the city, and what Yang Li is doing now is not in line with the general's intentions. ”

"Well, that's right! If the Zhao army does not attack, it will be attacked, and the people of the state army will be allowed to attack. Cao Yan sneered and said, "The general is still too merciful, he should have disposed of the chief general of the Bingzhou Army and annexed the Bingzhou Army." Otherwise, how could such hard monitoring be needed. ”

At the same time, on the gate tower of the West City, Qin Ling, the commander of the state army, saw Yang Li, who was supposed to be in the camp.

"General, there were originally two thousand people each of our army and the northern army of Bingzhou on the west city, but now, the reinforcements of our army have arrived, and they are already twice as many as them. The best thing is that Cao Gang, in order to spy on our army, has our soldiers mixed with theirs. One moment to act, that's the best time. ”

Yang Li, who was wearing the armor of an ordinary captain, took a deep look at the outside of the city and said, "How is the arrangement among the soldiers?" Also, are Zhao Jun's people coming? ”

"The subordinates have already told all the officers above the rank of the team, presumably, some of the non-commissioned officers are aware of the situation now. Once you do it, the rest of the soldiers will follow. As for the people of the Zhao army, they also came, and their subordinates had already arranged them among the defenders, only five people, who were responsible for instructing the Zhao army outside the city on the results of our army's actions. This Zhao Xun is really a cautious person, and nothing will be left behind. Qin Ling said softly.

Yang Lidao: "At such a time, he can't be cautious. This is not the life and death of ten or hundreds of people, but the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers. If he doesn't, can you and I rest assured? Alright, get ready for action. First of all, the generals and colonels of the northern army on the city wall were solved. As he spoke, a sinister look appeared in his eyes. Things have come to this point, and he can only be ruthless. Otherwise, after the city is broken, he will be a prisoner.

"Come on, let the heads of the various ministries come to discuss the military!" Qin Ling sneered and ordered. As the chief general of Xicheng, he is naturally qualified to convene the officers of various departments to discuss the matter.

"General Qin, we just need to wait for the Zhao army to attack, what else is there to discuss." Cao Yan, who looked impatient, was the last to arrive at the place where the generals of the city tower were meeting, and he was very unhappy that he wanted to obey Qin Ling's military orders.

Qin Ling didn't reply, he glanced around with cold eyes, and saw that his personal guards had vaguely surrounded everyone, and the generals under his command were also mixed with the generals and schools of the Northern Army of Bingzhou, and nodded slightly.

"Kill!" With a loud shout, a flash of silver light appeared.

"You ......" Before Cao Yan could react, he felt a chill in his neck, and he lost consciousness in an instant. At the same time as Qin Ling was drinking violently, half of the more than 20 officers above the rank of lieutenant swung their swords and slashed at the other half beside them.

"Blow the trumpet! Let's go! Yang Li, who had already changed the general's armor, said sharply, "Kill the Northern Army and open the city gate!" ”

"Kill the Northern Army!"

"Kill the Northern Army!"

Suddenly, there was a shout of killing on the city wall, and in the angry shouts of the officers and some non-commissioned officers of the Bingzhou Army, the Bingzhou Army began to raid the Northern Army of Bingzhou around them. The Northern Army of Bingzhou was simply fun to guard, and most of them were killed by the Bingzhou Army in an instant. Although the Northern Army of Bingzhou also fought back desperately, the Northern Army of Bingzhou occupied a surprise attack and had a large number of people, but the Northern Army of Bingzhou did not even have an effective command.

At the same time as the state army was moving, the Zhao army spies on the city wall who saw this scene immediately waved torches and made code words. Outside the city walls, in the pitch-black distance, less than five miles away, a large field of fire suddenly lit up. Immediately, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves rang out.

The "creaky ......" drawbridge was defended and the city gate was slowly opened. The 5,000 cavalry troops who came in a hurry rushed in and smashed into the county town of Dingping, where the city was strong and thick......

…………

"Report ...... Lord Qiqi, the West City has been broken by our army, and the vanguard and the army have entered the city! "Behind the Zhao army's formation, Zhao Xun received a military report from Xicheng.

"Excellent! Pass the order down, and the whole army will storm! Break the city! Zhao Xun ordered lightly.

"The king has an order! Siege with all your troops! ”

Suddenly, the Zhao army, which had retreated slightly, once again launched a strong onslaught. Suddenly, the catapult, which had been stopped, roared again. Stone projectiles the size of watermelons rose into the air again, falling on the top of the city with a whistling sound. In the darkness of the night, it is impossible to see the traces of stone bullets in the sky, but the whistling sound is even more terrifying. The defenders who were originally excited and repelled the Zhao army's offensive suffered a great disaster in an instant.

"Boom, boom......, boom" Huge Stone Hammer City, the huge impact sound sounded endlessly in an instant, and the entire southern city wall began to groan and tremble, and many recruits were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies were like chaff. There is an unlucky bastard who is even more weak. Wailing, he fell from a gap in the wall and fell to his death......

Of course, there are also soldiers who were directly hit by stones, broken bones and tendons, and died tragically, and there were stones that crashed into the burning oil pot with a bang. The pot was broken and the oil was splashed, and the flames were churning, and the soldiers around them, even the ones who had begun to hide behind the female wall, could not dodge, and they were engulfed by the raging fire in an instant. More soldiers panicked after the stone bullets came, and before they had time to dodge, they were cut off their heads or bodies and stoned to death.

"Boom!" "Bang Bang ......"

A boulder almost passed by the ear of Cao Gang, who had just bowed his head, and smashed heavily on the city tower, suddenly smashing a pit on the city tower paved with blue bricks. Several pieces of the hard green bricks were also smashed, revealing the mottled loess underneath. Several torches were knocked out of the air and scattered around......

"...... Is Zhao Jun crazy tonight? Cao Gang's face was gloomy, he touched his ears that were a little painful, and scolded secretly.

Regardless of the situation above the city walls, the Zhao army of Cheng swarmed in, the vans quickly approached, and began to build pontoon bridges over the moat, after which the foot soldiers carrying the ladders rushed forward. As for the large equipment such as siege towers, they have been placed at the moment. After all, the four doors of Dingping have been broken. Thinking about it, the north gate, which is guarded by half of the state army, will soon be taken by the Zhao army in the case of a combination of internal and external teams.

"General, it seems that this Zhao army is going to attack tonight!" Cao Feng said with a shocked face.

"Damn! It must be blocked, in a few days, even if the city is broken, it will be able to keep the continuation of my Cao clan, and we must not let Zhao Xun, a thief, break the peace. The whole army was ordered to defend to the death, and all the soldiers of the battalion in the south of the city were drawn in, except for the patrol soldiers, and the rest were all ready to fight to the death. I don't believe it, Zhao Xun is confident that he will break through here tonight? Cao Gang said hatefully, his eyes red.

"It's a pity that we are trapped here, and the catapults and bed crossbows in our hands have been exhausted, otherwise, Zhao Jun's catapults would have been able to oppress us so much. Damn it! As he spoke, Cao Gang hated to punch behind the broken female wall beside him.

"I knew that I should have retreated to the northern steppes with the Turks, and maybe I could rise again." The more Cao Gang thought about it, the more angry he became, thinking that he was a dignified prince, and now he had fallen to such a point and became a turtle in an urn.

"Uncle, wait until a few days later, the passage is dug up, why don't you take advantage of the night to leave, wait into the northern Turkic steppe, and then join forces with Xue Jian Khan, he will definitely be able to avenge this blood revenge one day, and enter the land of Bingzhou and even the Central Plains." Cao Xi, the commander of the guards, said in a muffled voice.

"Huh? This is not a road......" As soon as he heard what Cao Xi said, Cao Gang moved his mind. Originally, his plan was to rush out to attract Zhao Jun after the passage was opened, and let the younger generation of the clan leave quietly. But now that I think about it, maybe I can take advantage of it to leave. Well, let's wait until after the battle tonight.

"General, the situation is a little bad, for some reason, many of the soldiers and soldiers who originally defended the city have taken advantage of the chaos to flee, especially some officers, who have long since disappeared." Cao Feng hurriedly rushed over to report.

"What? and state military ...... What is Yang Li doing again? What does he want to do? Cao Gang was suddenly furious, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart, and even, he felt a little cold in his heart.

"Could it be...... No...... No......" Suddenly, Cao Gang's face changed drastically, his voice trembled, and he was inexplicably frightened.

"General, did you send someone to the Bingzhou Army Barracks to ask Yang Li and ask him how he trained his subordinates to run away in the middle of the battle!" Cao Xi said dissatisfiedly.

"Report ...... Big...... General, the big thing is not good, the Zhao army has already entered the city! At this moment, the first lieutenant hurriedly rushed up from the city and hurriedly reported to Cao Gangyu.

"Boom ......" Cao Gang suddenly felt dizzy, and the problem he was most worried about appeared. The officers of the state army above the city disappeared, and the state army fled in a hurry, this is already a dangerous thing, plus Zhao Jun's appearance tonight, he understands it all at the moment.

Yang Li...... Yang Li, you damn it...... Damn it! Cao Gang suddenly roared bitterly.

"What's going on? How did Zhao Jun enter the city? Cao Feng's face turned pale and he yelled. Although Cao Gang's roar, he already knew the situation, but now he was still a little incredulous.

"General Cao, the Bingzhou army in Xicheng rebelled, killed our soldiers and soldiers, and dedicated the city gate. Now, the 30,000 troops of the Zhao army have entered the city and are killing in the city. The lieutenant said repeatedly.

"Report ...... Back to the general, the northern city has fallen, and the Zhao army has entered the city! ”

"Poof......" Cao Gang suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and immediately fainted to the ground.

Cao Gang fainted, there was chaos on the city wall, and the Zhao army had already entered the city, and the soldiers around Cao Gang immediately spread the news. Coupled with the sudden backlash of the soldiers on the city wall, Nancheng was in chaos in an instant.

"Boom ......"

The last boulder roared and tumbled down on the tower of the southern city, and this boulder finally became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and in the dust, the three-story wooden structure of the enemy tower collapsed, and dozens of panicked defenders were buried alive in an instant.

"The Cao family has no way, and those who descend will not die!" The earth-shattering shouts appeared above the city with ladders that came up one by one. And Cao Gang's fainting and the departure of some officers suddenly made the defenders on the city wall completely lose their heart of resistance.

On the southern city of "Boom ......", the Cao clan handsome banner of the northern army of Na Bingzhou was finally cut down, and then the flame qilin flag of the Zhao army and the Zhao character handsome flag were raised......

"Okay, the overall situation has been decided, let's get ready to enter the city!" Zhang Yuanjing looked at the earth-shattering shouts coming from the city in the distance, and said with a smile.

Dongping City suddenly fell into chaos, and after the south gate was taken, the Zhao army that entered from the north gate also took the east gate. The four gates were all conquered by the Zhao army, and the northern army in the city had no way to escape. In the case that Cao Gang disappeared in a coma and the generals of the Cao clan disappeared one after another, the northern army of Bingzhou surrendered one after another. After an hour of fighting, Dingping County finally fell into the hands of Zhao Jun, which was also the last city to be taken by Zhao Xun in the land of Bingzhou. That is to say, since then, the whole territory of the land of the annexation of the state has completely fallen into the hands of the Zhao army, and there is no longer a hostile army in the land of the annexation of the state.

"Descend to Yang Li! Meet His Royal Highness King Zhao! Yang Li took the generals under the command of the Bingzhou Army to meet Zhao Xun, the new owner of the land of Bingzhou, at the mansion of Cao Gang, the former general of the Northern Army of Bingzhou.

"Excuse me! This time, General Yang was able to take this place so smoothly, and General Yang contributed a lot. If General Yang hadn't repented in time and changed his ways, I am afraid that even if our army can take this place, the casualties will be even greater. ”

"However, since General Yang has been attached to this article, this must also be done in accordance with the rules of my Zhao Army. General Yang and the generals behind you will arrange your future positions according to your ability and merits, but it is also a rule to reorganize the state army. General Yang should be able to understand that the military discipline and training methods of my Sergeant Zhao are different from those of other subsequent armies. Besides, this is also what we discussed at the beginning, and General Yang has no opinion. ”

Seeing that Zhao Xun arranged them according to the method he said at the beginning, Yang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The subordinates understand that the subordinates understand that the subordinates will handle it according to the will of the lord, and the subordinates and others have no other opinions. ”

"Han Meng, did Cao Gang and the other generals of the Cao clan capture or kill them?"

"Back to the lord, the Cao clan has been taken by our army, and its families have been sealed. However, Cao Gang and several of Cao's generals have not yet been captured and are now being searched throughout the city. Han Meng, who had just rushed to kill for a while, said in a deep voice.

"Huh? This Cao Gang actually slipped away when our army entered the city, did he escape from the city? No, the four gates were blocked by us first, and they shouldn't have escaped. Zhang Yuanjing said slowly.

"My lord! My lord, we have found a secret passage in this Great General's Mansion! Gao Han, the captain of the guards, hurriedly rushed in from outside the hall and said.

"Secret passages? It seems that this Cao Gang also knew that the city could not hold on, so Han Meng immediately sent someone to search for it, and he was bound to capture Cao Gang. Since Cao Gang did not let the rest of the Cao clan leave from the secret passage, this means that this secret passage must not have been completely completed. Zhao Xun said coldly.

Sure enough, as Zhao Xun said, the secret passage of the Great General's Mansion was not completed, and the straight-line distance was only just extended from the Great General's Mansion to the city wall, and at the cost of dozens of casualties, Cao Gang and the remaining dozen people were taken by Han Meng.

"Zhao Xunxiao'er, you won the state, and General Ben recognized it. Yang Li, your brother bastard, even if Lao Tzu dies, he will be waiting for you below. As soon as he saw Zhao Xun and the others, Cao Gang angrily scolded Yang Li for his betrayal.

"Cao Gang, you colluded with foreigners and harmed the people! Everyone in the world will be punished. Yang is also ashamed of your company and repented. Besides, you coerced me to join the state army, but you secretly dug tunnels and wanted to flee privately, where are the tens of thousands of defenders in the city? Don't say it's Yang, it's you and the soldiers of the northern state, and they all spurn you. Yang Li said unhurriedly.

"That's it, Cao Gang, what you have done is spurned by all the people, and this king does not want to say much to you. Come, tomorrow they will all escort them to the northland and behead them in public. As a general, he colluded with foreign tribes to harm his own people, and it was difficult to atone for his sins! Let your blood be used to warn some people, and those who collude with other places, and punish them severely! The princes of one side were so lightly decided by Zhao Xun that the verdict of death made Yang Li, who was on the side, feel slightly shocked. At the same time, he also felt that Zhao Xun suddenly had a coercive force on his body......

"If you hold on for a few more days, I'm afraid that Cao Gang will be able to make a lot of young disciples of the Cao clan escape, it seems that the heavens will not let such villains escape...... Lord, how should the Cao clan deal with it? In this Dingping county, there are no less than 500 members of the Cao clan. Zhang Yuanjing said slowly.

Zhao Xun said lightly: "What do you think? ”

Zhang Yuanjing said lightly: "Betraying the imperial court, colluding with other places, the crime should be punished by the nine clans!" In the opinion of his subordinates, all of them will be killed! ”

Zhao Xun knew that Zhang Yuanjing was to warn those who surrendered to the generals and colluded with foreigners, but he did not want to kill too much after the war. So he shook his head and said, "So, the killing is too much." In this way, whoever is a soldier and harms the people will be killed! and as for his possessions, let it be atonement. ”

Although he did not kill, Zhao Xun did not forget the wealth of the Cao family from the people and trading with the Turks. Of course, these people of the Cao clan will also live under the surveillance of the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division.
